By the film's finale ("Phoenix Rises"), the score reaches Lord Of The Rings perportions. I know I still have half the year left but this is probably the best action score of 2006.

Seriously?
I enjoyed Ottman's score, thought it was well done. But if you're right and it is better, then I have yet another reason to see this movie. While an excellent score cannot save a bad movie, it can still make it bearable and in time, it will result in me purchasing the soundtrack.
Is there a way you can upload it?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
